CBD Products and e-Cigarettes (Cannabidiol (CBD) Products)

In 2016, the UK's regulatory agency, The MHRA, classified products containing cannabidiol (CBD) with more than 0.01% THC for medical purposes as medicines. All medicinal products must hold a valid product license (marketing authorization) before legal sale, supply, or advertisement in the UK. Licensed medicinal products must meet safety, quality, and efficacy standards to safeguard public health.

General rules for marketing CBD products in the UK, not requiring MHRA authorization, dictate that labels must avoid medical claims, disclose CBD content, provide full manufacturer details, and list all ingredients. Crucially, products must contain no more than 0.01% THC.

Furthermore, regulatory authorities in EU member states now classify any food, drink, or food supplements containing CBD as "novel food." All novel foods containing CBD necessitate marketing authorization. Therefore, any company intending to incorporate CBD into food must apply to the European Commission before marketing the product.

Examples of CBD foods subject to novel food regulations include CBD oils, capsules, or oral sprays, CBD-infused gummies, mints, or other confections, as well as CBD tea, coffee, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages, and any CBD-infused snacks like crisps or energy bars. Oxygen Life Sciences offers consulting services to ensure compliance with all CBD regulations, facilitating the legal entry of your CBD-containing products into the UK/EU market.

E-Cigarettes

Oxygen Life Sciences provides comprehensive regulatory guidance on e-cigarette registration. Our experienced consultants specialize in the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD). Enforced from May 2016, the TPD introduced new regulations for nicotine-containing electronic cigarettes and refill containers (Article 20).

Our TPD consultants possess backgrounds in pharmaceutical regulation. Given that e-cigarette regulation aligns with pharmaceutical regulation, consultants with expertise in medical regulatory affairs are best suited to advise on emerging e-cigarette regulations.

If you're an importer or manufacturer of e-cigarettes or e-liquids, your products must comply with TPD regulations before selling in the EU. Contact us to learn how we can assist you in legally registering your products for sale in the EU.
